Shepherding You Through the Challenge of When the Law Meets a Broken Marriage

No one enters into a marriage thinking it will end in divorce, but unfortunately, divorce happens. If you’re having marital problems and are faced with the reality of a broken marriage, you will need to make some very difficult decisions. One of those decisions may be whether or not to seek legal counsel for a divorce.
Seeking legal representation is not always necessary, but because divorce is a legal-matter, there are some key legal aspects that you should be aware of.
There are specific laws that will govern how your divorce is handled in the state of Utah. Experienced divorce attorneys will be familiar with those laws and rules, as well as the judges and commissioners who interpret those laws and rules, and can help you navigate the divorce process.

There are a few different ways to get divorced in Utah. The most common way is to file a divorce petition with the court. In order to do this, one of the spouses must have been a resident of Utah for at least three months. The divorce petition will state the grounds for divorce and ask the court to dissolve the marriage.
If both spouses agree on all of the terms of the divorce, they may be able to complete it without going to court. This is called an uncontested divorce. An attorney can provide the legal assistance to file the necessary paperwork and make sure that everything is done correctly.
If there are disagreements about some of the terms of the divorce, the divorce will be considered contested. In a contested divorce, the spouses will have to go to court and argue their case in front of a commissioner or judge. This can be a long and expensive process, and it is almost always best to seek legal representation if things start to get contentious.
If your legal team knows what they are doing, the first thing they will do is help you understand the laws and legal issues that will govern your divorce. Your lawyer will also help you negotiate any disputes with your spouse and advise you on the best way to resolve your case so you obtain the goals you’re looking for. If litigation is necessary, an attorney will represent you in court and make sure that your interests are protected.

Family Law Attorney

Before I came to Utah and won divorce attorney of the year, I grew up in a small village in Alaska called Cold Bay. My grandmother was an educator and professor. Because of her example, I always knew he would get a Ph.D. or professional degree, like a JD or an MBA. Being a lawyer fit my personality and my desire to help people, so I decided to go to law school where I graduated with distinction.
After law school, I worked at a law firm doing personal injury work. I defended insurance companies in car accident cases, worker compensation cases, slip-and-fall cases, etc. It was a terrible experience, and I only worked there for eighteen months before I left and moved to Utah in 2010 so my wife could pursue her doctorate in vocal performance.
2010 was not a good year for attorneys. Large firms of all kinds were shutting down because of the Great Recession. It was in this environment that I decided to open up my own law firm. In the beginning, I did everything: criminal defense, personal injury, family law, business litigation.
I also took cases all over the state: Utah County, Salt Lake, Vernal, St. George, Moab, Logan. I did anything and everything, everywhere. It was a classic mistake attorneys make, being a jack of all trades and master of none. Quickly, though, I realized my calling was to help families with divorce and child custody cases, so I stopped doing everything else and focused on family law cases.
Leaving criminal defense and personal injury and focusing exclusively on divorce was the best decision I have ever made. Now my legal team and I have one of the most comprehensive systems in the U.S. for helping our clients through the divorce process.
